The structural thesis is that ultra-low-power wireless IoT connectivity is entering a multi-year growth cycle driven by the convergence of AI-enabled edge computing, new wireless standards (Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi 8, UWB), and energy-harvesting/battery-free designs. This expansion is structural because it reflects a secular shift from cloud-centric to edge-local processing where devices perform inference (TinyML), reducing latency and improving privacy. The thesis benefits from the mainstreaming of AI directly onto ultra-low-power MCUs, which creates a durable demand pull across healthcare, industrial IoT, smart agriculture, and wearables.

| Ekspozycja na AI | High and increasing — AI is being embedded into ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF54 series, Atmosic’s energy-harvesting Bluetooth), enabling local inference that was previously impossible at these power levels. TinyML workloads are a new incremental demand layer that did not exist three years ago. |
The sector is rebounding strongly from the 2022-2024 headwinds, with 2025 ending on stronger footing. Long-term demand drivers (30B+ devices by 2030, TinyML adoption, battery-free innovation) are intact. Near-term risks (RAM shortages H2 2026, security regulation) are manageable and do not derail the structural trajectory.
